Workshops
What could make this workshop an ‘event’ in your life?
Some call the act of drumming: ‘Drumming with Spirit’. It has been described as the ‘way of the heart’ as it is aligned with the natural flow. The spill over skills of drumming expand into all areas of our lives as we open ways of feeling and responding to this natural flow. Drumming is a letting go to the magic of the rhythm. Drumming relaxes the body and releases a chain reaction of endorphins stimulating our immune system and often activating our emotions in positive ways to embrace life more and more joyfully, enthusiastically and gratefully.
Every culture has had the use of drums as a central continuum – the base of all music, harmonies and rhythms. Once a drum is birthed one has co created a tool that becomes a portal to the mystic or the inner temple, the world explored by our Elder down through the ages. Using your drum helps you to go beyond your logical thought processes into pure potential. As a drum keeper you are saying yes to creating a place of worship, healing and benediction.

Great Spirit has given me all the pieces.
Each piece has become One.
The One has become a drum.
With this drum I have been given a new voice.
